We love to show off our work but our we crediting the photographer properly? With so many new media outlets a photographer’s picture is being seen in more places than ever before. We definitely want the pictures to keep coming because our camera phones just don’t do justice compared to the professional pictures. So come learn from the photographers themselves as we have a Q & A educational dinner. 

-Topic’s including:

-Social media photography etiquette

-How to credit the photographer correctly

-How long we should anticipate receiving the pictures as a vendor

UPDATE TO MEETING FORMAT

HOT TOPICS have been added to the educational format to expand the scope of conversation so that our learning opportunities include before, during, and after the event.  Our panel of photographers will share very useful information from their perspective of an event that will reach across to all event professionals.  After all, the photographers are at every wedding and event from the very beginning to the end (or close to it).  Yes, they see it all and will share the good, bad and ugly along with helpful recommendations for all vendor types.  See the event through the lens of a photographer as Dina Gonzales from Supernatural SoundZ Entertainment moderates this panel of expert Photographers.

 Topics include:

·         Communication; timing; colors; lighting;  best practices; and true experiences including uncut stories – “the good, the bad and the ugly”;  as well as
